Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

In ServiceNow Discovery, a horizontal discovery pattern refers to the logical set of steps that the Discovery process executes to find CI information across the network. Each step in a horizontal discovery pattern performs specific operations such as running probes, executing commands, or querying databases to gather information about the configuration items (CIs). It's about expanding the breadth of discovery across devices and applications, rather than going in-depth into a specific CI's details, which would be vertical discovery. Classifiers, credential depots, and port scanning tools are part of the discovery process but do not describe the horizontal discovery pattern itself.

Hey, is this a trick question or what? I mean, who names a variable '1'? Sounds like something a programmer with a sense of humor would do!

Ah, this is a tricky one! I'm gonna have to say option A is the correct answer. This must be from a WMI query operation step, and I bet the other options are just red herrings.

Woah, this is some serious stuff! I'm gonna have to go with option B - there's definitely a scalar variable labeled '1' in that image. Time to brush up on my WMI query knowledge!

Hmm, let me think about this... I'm pretty sure it's option D. I mean, look at that variable named 'name_details' - it's gotta be a tabular one, right?

Haha, this question is a real head-scratcher! I'm gonna go with option C - 'This Value cannot be used in a pattern step'. Sounds like a real gotcha to me.

Hmm, I see your point. But I still think A) is the right choice because of the structure of the image.

Hmm, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a little horizontal just thinking about this question. Maybe we should all take a nap and let the probes do the work for us. Oh, wait, D it is!

Ah, the age-old question of horizontal discovery patterns. I reckon option D is the one that'll have us trekking across the digital landscape like a bunch of intrepid explorers. Let's do this!

Wait, are we supposed to be discovering things horizontally? I thought this was a vertical kind of exam. Either way, I'm gonna go with D. Sounds like the most action-packed option to me.
